Where to buy MLS 2026 tickets
StubHub covers all 30 MLS clubs in one place, so there is no need to check 30 different team sites.

- Fast-selling fixtures. Marquee games, especially anything involving Inter Miami, sell out quickest, so buy early.
- FanProtect Guarantee. Get a valid ticket or your money back.
- Instant mobile delivery. Tickets transfer straight to your phone, ideal for last-minute matchday buys.
- Presale vs resale. Some clubs offer season-ticket holders early access to home fixtures before general sale opens; StubHub is the fastest route once that window has passed, or for hard-to-get away-end seats.
- Hospitality. Premium packages, including pitchside and suite options, are available for marquee matchups.
How much are MLS 2026 tickets?
| Ticket type | Price |
|---|---|
| Cheapest available | From $15 ( |
| League average, regular season | $25-$50 |
| Marquee or rivalry games | Above average, varies by matchup |
| Playoffs | Highest of the season |
What moves the price:
- Seat location. Pitchside and VIP sections cost significantly more than upper-tier seating.
- Opponent and form. Inter Miami's home games, built around Messi, are consistently among the most expensive and quickest to sell out.
- Stadium size. Bigger venues like Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta offer a wider spread of price points than smaller, soccer-specific grounds.
Everything you need to know about MLS 2026
Inter Miami are the defending MLS Cup champions, beating Vancouver 3-1 in December to win their first title in the league. Lionel Messi won the Golden Boot with 29 goals and a second straight MVP award, the first player in MLS history to win back-to-back MVPs. Miami lost Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets over the offseason but added 2025 Goalkeeper of the Year Dayne St. Clair and Mexican striker Germán Berterame.
Atlanta United drew the biggest crowds in MLS again last season, averaging over 43,000 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, including 65,520 for a single Matchday 1 fixture against CF Montreal, still one of the highest single-match attendances in the league this season.
MLS paused the regular season for seven weeks, from May 25 to July 16, while the FIFA World Cup was played across the US, Canada and Mexico, before action resumed in mid-July. The regular season now runs to Decision Day on November 7, with the playoffs following from November 18 to December 18.
Everything you need to know about the venues
Inter Miami now play at Miami Freedom Park, their new 25,000-seat, soccer-specific stadium in Fort Lauderdale, which opened in April 2026 and replaced their previous home at Chase Stadium.
MLS grounds vary hugely in size, from soccer-specific stadiums holding around 18,000-25,000, such as Q2 Stadium in Austin and GEODIS Park in Nashville, up to NFL-sized venues for the league's biggest draws, including Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Always check the specific venue, seating chart and capacity on your StubHub listing before you buy, since stadium size and layout vary widely from market to market.
